The Oregonian doesn't usually print lists of local college students who make the dean's list or the honor roll, even though doing so is a notable accomplishment.

Why not? proud parents often ask us. Because the lists of local scholars hitting that mark at college and universities is too darned long -- as the Oregon State list shows.

More than 4,500 students at Oregon State earned grade-point averages of 3.5 or higher last term, including 932 who earned straight As. And a hefty share of them hail from The Oregonian and OregonLive's core readership area of Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties.
